423 .         Tribunal may issue service provider with compliance notice

        (1)         The Tribunal may, on the application of a person referred to in section 424 or on its own initiative, issue a service provider with a compliance notice if it appears to the Tribunal that the service provider has not complied with a prescribed requirement.

        (2)         The compliance notice may direct the service provider —

            (a)         to take specified action within the specified period for the purpose of complying with the prescribed requirement; and

            (b)         to report to the Tribunal in the specified manner within the specified period that —

                  (i)         the service provider has taken the action specified under paragraph (a) within the period specified under paragraph (a); or

                  (ii)         if the service provider has not taken the specified action or has not taken that action within the specified period — the reasons for not doing so.

        (3)         Before deciding whether or not to issue a service provider with a compliance notice, the Tribunal must consider whether it would be appropriate to refer the matter to one or more of the following —

            (a)         the CEO;

            (b)         the CEO of the Health Department;

            (c)         the Chief Psychiatrist;

            (d)         a registration board.

        (4)         If the Tribunal decides that it would be appropriate to refer the matter to a person or body referred to in subsection (3), the Tribunal may refer the matter instead of, or in addition to, issuing the service provider with a compliance notice.

        [Section 423 amended: No. 10 of 2023 s. 382.]
